Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure generally relates to a method of forming patterns and housings with patterns formed thereon, and particularly, to a method of forming patterns on curved surface of the housing, and housings with patterns formed on a curved surface thereon.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- To form patterns on a curved surface of various articles, silk screen printing or ink jet printing are usually employed. However, such patterns can only be formed on an outer convex surface by silk screen printing, and if an article structure is too complicated, the patterns cannot be formed. For ink jet printing, because the distances between the to-be-printed points on the curved surface and a printing head of a printer are not the same, the ink jetted on the curved surface is not uniform and thus the resolution of the pattern produced is relatively low, and the pattern may be distorted. To improve the pattern quality, the movement path of the printing head can be controlled according to a profile of the curved surface, such that the distances between the to-be-printed points and the printing head are similar enough. However, a printing apparatus as mentioned above has a relatively complicated structure, and relatively high cost.
- Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for forming a plurality of patterns on a housing of an illustrated embodiment. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , an illustrated embodiment of a method for forming a plurality of patterns on a curved surface of an article is shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the method of forming the patterns on ahousing 10 is presented. Thehousing 10 is substantially curved, and includes an innerconcave surface 11 and anouter convex surface 13 opposite to the innerconcave surface 11. A photo-resist layer 20 is coated on the innerconcave surface 11. A material of the photo-resist layer 20 can be a negative photo-resist or a positive photo-resist. In the illustrated embodiment, thehousing 10 is made of metal. Thehousing 10 can be made of glass, ceramic, or plastic, for example. - A photo-
mask 30 employed in the method of forming the patterns in the illustrated embodiment is substantially curved. A plurality oflight holes 31 are defined in the photo-mask 30. The photo-mask 30 includes an innerconcave surface 33 and anouter convex surface 35 opposite to the innerconcave surface 33. Theouter convex surface 35 is placed adjacent corresponding to the innerconcave surface 11 of thehousing 10, and a profile of theouter convex surface 35 is substantially the same as that of the innerconcave surface 11. In the illustrated embodiment, because the material of the photo-resist layer 20 is the negative photo-resist, a shape of thelight holes 31 corresponds to that of a pattern to be formed on the innerconcave surface 11. Eachlight hole 31 is substantially elliptical when viewed in top view. - If the material of the photo-
resist layer 20 is a positive photo-resist, a shape of theouter convex surface 35 corresponds to that of the pattern to be formed on the innerconcave surface 11. The photo-mask 30 can be planar, and a corresponding relation between the shape of thelight holes 31 and that of the pattern should be calculated in that case. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 through 5 , a method of forming a plurality of patterns of one embodiment includes the following steps. - In a first step S101, a photo-
resist layer 20 is coated on an innerconcave surface 11 of thehousing 10. The photo-resist layer 20 can be coated by an immersion process or a spraying process. In the illustrated embodiment, the photo-resist layer 20 is coated by the spraying process, and a material of the photo-resist layer 20 is a negative photo-resist. The material of the photo-resist layer 20 can be a positive photo-resist. - In a second step S102, a photo-
mask 30 is provided, and is placed above the innerconcave surface 11 of thehousing 10. A plurality oflight holes 31 are defined in the photo-mask 30. The photo-mask 30 includes an innerconcave surface 33 and anouter convex surface 35 opposite to the innerconcave surface 33. Theouter convex surface 35 of the photo-mask 35 is placed corresponding to the innerconcave surface 11 of thehousing 10. In the illustrated embodiment, because the material of the photo-resist layer 20 is the negative photo-resist, and a profile of theouter convex surface 35 is substantially the same as that of the innerconcave surface 11, a shape of thelight holes 31 corresponds to that of a pattern to be formed on the innerconcave surface 11. Eachlight hole 31 is substantially elliptical when viewed in top view. If the material of the photo-resist layer 20 is a positive photo-resist, a shape of theouter convex surface 35 corresponds to that of the pattern to be formed on the innerconcave surface 11. - In a third step S103, a
light source 40 is provided, and the photo-resist layer 20 is exposed to the light emitted from thelight source 40. The light passes through thelight holes 31 toward the photo-resist layer 20 coated on the innerconcave surface 11, and thus the photo-resist layer 20 is exposed to light accordingly, and generates a product, which is undissolvable in a developer. - In a fourth step S104, a
developer 50 is provided, and the photo-resist layer 20 after being exposed is developed to form apattern 60 on the innerconcave surface 11 of thehousing 10. Thedeveloper 50 is sprayed onto the photo-resist layer 20, and the unexposed photo-resist is dissolved in thedeveloper 50, and discharged from thehousing 10 together with thedeveloper 50. - The method of forming a plurality of patterns can be used to form the patterns on the
outer convex surface 13. - A shape of the
pattern 60 can be controlled by the shape of thelight holes 31, thereby avoiding forming thepattern 60 on the innerconcave surface 11 by directly jetting ink, such that a resolution of thepattern 60 is thereby improved, and the apparatus for forming thepattern 60 has a simpler structure and lower cost. In addition, even though the structure of thehousing 10 is relatively complicated, thepattern 60 can be easily formed by the method of the embodiment. - It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the embodiments to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
